it was just a taste of amber
at every night past six.
her smell was strong and lingered
across his violent lips.
.
and he would drag me from my slumber
by my tiny wrist,
as amber smoked my lungs,
then burned with every hit.
.
and I wondered what she gave him
that stole so much from me.
was that poison so much better
than the love I tried to be?
.
oh, daddy was my safety,
really so easy to sell?
for amber’s sweet relief
on your journey down to hell.
